  • Objectives: Measurement of the incidence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is very important for epidemiological studies. Here, we determined the recency period with the AxSYM avidity assay and the BED-capture enzyme immunoassay (BED-CEIA) in Korean seroconverters. Methods: Two hundred longitudinal specimens from 81 seroconverters with incident HIV infections that had been collected at the Korea National Institute of Health were subjected to the AxSYM avidity assay (cutoff = 0.8) and BED-CEIA (cutoff = 0.8). The statistical method used to estimate the recency period in recent HIV infections was nonparametric survival analyses. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for 10-day increments from 120 days to 230 days to determine the recency period. Results: The mean recency period of the avidity assay and BED-CEIA using a survival method was 158 days [95% confidence interval (CI), 135-181 days] and 189 days (95% CI, 170-208 days), respectively. Based on the use of sensitivity and specificity, the mean recency period for the avidity assay and BED-CEIA was 150 days and 200 days, respectively. Conclusion: We determined the recency period to estimate HIV incidence in Korea. These data showed that the nonparametric survival analysis often led to shorter recency periods than analysis of sensitivity and specificity as a new method. These findings suggest that more data from seroconverters and other methodologies are needed to determine the recency period for estimating HIV incidence.

  • In the success of an IT project, the role of S/W developer in carrying out the project is critical and crucial. However, compared to its importance, there is only a few studies on the role of human resources in software engineering field, mainly focusing on technology. Based on regulatory focus theory, this study examines how the effect of technology recency on developer's intention to participate in the IT project changes depending on the regulatory focus of the software developer. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that there is a difference in the effect of technology recency on project participation intention according to the condition of developer's regulatory focus. This study is meaningful because it extends regulatory focus theory to software engineering field and made theoretical contribution to the research field of behavioral software engineering. In practical, it was possible to suggest a way to improve the intention of the developer to participate in the project, by understanding the software developer in the IT project, considering the software developer propensity and project characteristics.

  • SNS is perceived as an effective tool for sharing news and enabling news content to reach many more users than before. And some users think that SNS is an important source to get news. This study's purpose is to understand the key factors contributing to behavior of news consumption on social network sites in Cambodia and its influence. We identified three key factors including convenience, recency, and variety; however, recency showed less significant effect on news consumption on SNS. Besides the key factors, it also seeks to understand the impact of news consumption on social engagement and government's transparency in Cambodia. The analytical results achieved through the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach.

  • Thanks to information technologies, sharing economy services offer a new way of consumption. Carsharing appeared as a novel type of service that transformed the conventional way of personal transportation, from owning a vehicle to using an on-demand service. Allowing users to use a vehicle without owning a car, carsharing provides various social benefits such as the reduction of resource allocation inefficiencies and the alleviation of transportation problems. To strengthen such positive aspects of carsharing service, it is essential to understand an individual's service usage pattern and reveal factors that affect users' reuse behavior. This study investigates the factors that have an influence on carsharing reuse of users applying RFMC (Recency, Frequency, Monetary, and Clumpiness) model, the popular model for understanding the reuse likelihood of customers. Using data from a leading carsharing service provider in South Korea, we empirically analyze the effect of RFMC on carsharing reuse behavior. The findings show that recency and monetary values are negatively related to reuse while frequency is positively related to carsharing service reuse. Moreover, the impact of recency and monetary value are more salient whereas the impact of frequency is smaller among users with higher clumpiness. Based on these findings, this study elaborates on theoretical and practical implications.

  • 기존의 연구에서는 광 경로를 설정할 때 파장 전체를 할당함으로써 많은 대역폭 낭비를 초래하였고, 타임슬롯을 할당할 때 처음 소스 노드에서 사용할 타임슬롯을 정하여 호연결 설정 (Call Setup) 을 함으로써 광 경로가 블록킹될 확률이 높았다. 본 논문에서는 광네트워크에서 효율적으로 RWTA 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 타임슬롯 할당 알고리즘을제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 호 연결 설정 시간까지의 타임슬롯 할당을 지연함으로써 광 경로가 블록킹될 확률을 최소화 할 수 있는 장점을 지닌 최근성 (recency) 에 근거한 타임슬롯 할당 알고리즘이다.

  • The Digital Library is the integrated system of Information Retrieval System(IRS) and Database Management system(DBMS). In the Digital Library environment where dynamic query and update processes are required, however, the existing transaction management methods cause the following problems. First, since the traditional consistency criteria is too restrictive, it causes increment of query processing time and cannot guarantee the reflection of recency. Second, query result could be unreliable because the consistency criteria between source data and metadata is not defined. This paper models the access to metadata based on Dublin Core as query transactions and update transactions, and gives the efficient method to manage them. Particularly, this paper describes the consistency criteria of metadata which takes it Into consideration the consistency between the result of query transaction and status of source data in the Digital Library, that is different from the consistency criteria in traditional transaction management. It also presents analysis of the view point of query transaction to reflect recency and proposes metadata management to guarantee recency within metadata consistency.

  • This paper proposes a quality measurement model for video phone service over IP environment. Proposed model enhances conventional E-Model by using quality analysis and this model is suitable for ubiquitous environment. This research measures video phone quality by applying bust packet loss and recency effect. It uses delay and recency effect for compensating actual quality and recognized quality of user using NR and UR factor. Simulation results show that this model can provide more precise results than conventional model by considering recency effect of video phone service quality measurement model.

  • In this paper, we propose a new page replacement policy using recency and frequency on hybrid main memory. The proposal has two features. First, when a page fault occurs in the main memory, the proposal allocates it to DRAM, regardless of operation types such as read or write. The page allocated by the page fault is likely to be high probability of re-reference in the near future. Our allocation can reduce the frequency of write operations in PCM. Second, if the write operations are frequently performed on pages of PCM, the pages are migrated from PCM to DRAM. Otherwise, the pages are maintained in PCM, to reduce the number of unnecessary page migrations from PCM. In our experiments, the proposal reduced the number of page migrations from PCM about 32.12% on average and reduced the number of write operations in PCM about 44.64% on average, compared to CLOCK-DWF. Moreover, the proposal reduced the energy consumption about 15.61%, and 3.04%, compared to other page replacement policies.

  • Given a directed graph, we can determine how the user's preference moves from one product item to another. In this graph called "preference transition network", each node represents the product item while its edge pointing to the other nodes represents the transition of user's preference. However, with the large number of items make the network become more complex, unclear and difficult to be interpreted. In order to address this problem, this paper proposes a visualization technique in preference transition analysis based on recency and frequency. By adapting these two elements, the semantic meaning of each item and its transition can be clearly identified by its different types of node size, color and edge style. The experiment in a sales data has shown the results of the proposed approach.
